SYNOPSIS

Nested Scrolls: A Writer’s Life brings us the true life adventures of Rudy Rucker ­innovative novelist, mathematician, and computer hacker. His career goals? To explore infinity, popularize the fourth dimension, seek the gnarl, write beatnik SF, and father a family. At one level, Rucker’s genial and unfettered memoir brings us a first-hand account of how he and his fellows ushered in our postmodern world. At another level, Nested Scrolls is the wry and moving tale of a man making his way from one turbulent century to the next.

Along the way, Rucker earned a doctorate in mathematics, hobnobbed with the Beats, received literary awards for his cyberpunk novels, inaugurated the genre of transrealism, developed visually stunning software in Silicon Valley, and raised three children with his beloved wife.
